dbCheck(cvId) failed

Hi all,

Short question about dbCheck() function.
On some layout cell view the dbCheck() call failed.

When I run
dbCheck(cvId)

I get next war messages
\w *WARNING* bad string @ 4364658
\w *WARNING* XXcheckRcb: rcbScan failure.
\w *WARNING* dbCheck failed on wk_radu2 L_Mittelteil_reflect layout

seems to be something wrong with a string, but how can I identify
where exactly is the problem .

I have also run dbFix(cvId) .
It returns "t" - it suppose to be success, but again dbCheck() failed.
We are using some very old icfb version: 4.4.6.100.68

And because of this, some script refuse to do some stuff.
I do not have the sources to modify it and to skip this check



Best regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

Not really sure, but you may be able to fix this by doing

File->Defragment Data->CellView

I found some related messages to this (although not quite the same, and nothing
recent) - and this _might_ help. Most of the pointers suggest that these are
benign - but if you can't turn off the check, that's a bit of a problem, I suppose.

Andrew.

 

Another way to "clean" a layout that sometimes works is to select-all,
do a window-to-window copy into a new empty cellview, then rename
back to the original.

Or if you're desperate, you could strmout/strmin.

Thx for reply,

I've try it.
The jobs was successfully, it said something that same space have been
saved, but dbCheck() still fails.

Hi Jay,


Thx for reply.

The method with copy->paste did not work.
Next days I have to try the strmout/strmin .

You could try if a "newer" IC446 or a IC5141 can handle that cellview before
doing the roundtrip with gds.
